[Tyler Lemon]

Hi Marco,

It's good to hear that the next RICH sector is still moving along.

Thursday and Friday next week are holidays for Thanksgiving so we'd be able to have the meeting any time next Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday except for
Monday 11:00am - 1:00pm
Tuesday 11:00am - 1:00pm
Wednesday 12:00pm - 3:00pm


Tyler

Hi Tyler,
despite the problems due to the covid emergency, the construction of the
second RICH module is progressing and we are getting close to several
shipments of material to jlab, not only the aerogel mentioned by Bob.
Therefore I would like to have a meeting with you, the DSG and the other
people involved in the RICH project to discuss how to plan the work for
the next few months.
Would you be available for a meeting next week? If yes I will make a
doodle to fix the date and time.
Thanks,
Marco
